MAY 17-23
National Emergency Services
Week has been observed annually
since being first declared by President
Gerald Ford in 1974. This year, EMS
Week is May 17-23 and our slogan
is “EMS Strong.” EMS Week brings
together local communities and
medical personnel to recognize and
honor the dedication of those who
provide day-to-day lifesaving services
of emergency medicine’s “front line.”
EMS Strong will make EMS Week
a 365-day a year initiative to give
EMS a significantly greater visibility
among other heal professions and
communities. Putting EMS squarely
where it belongs: as an indispensable
part of the healthcare continuum.
Yankton County EMS welcomes
everyone to celebrate with us to
continue making Yankton County
“EMS Strong.”

Yankton County EMS would
like to thank all of Yankton
County’s Area First Responders.
Without their dedication and
support, our team would not
be complete. Yankton County’s
Area First Responders are an
indispensable part of our team
because often they are first
on the scene of an emergency
and provide lifesaving and
supportive emergency care.
